MDG (20 mins)

Multi-Directional Game

- Blue Formation 3-4-1 (11vs11 = 3-5-1-1)

Aims.

- to create 2vs1's in the outside channels.

- Get 1 player from the middel channel into the outside channel.

- Combination play with wider players.

- Movement to create 2vs1's.

- Quality passes.

Players in Central Zone aim to play passes wide fast with accuracy and support wide player by quickly joining them to play a "1-2" or a "Give and Go" to get the Wide player in behind the defending player.

Wide players will both attack and defend (E.G. Red player above would attack as a RW and Defend as a RB if playing up the pitch, whereas playing down they would become a LW when attacking and a LB when defending).

Conditions.

- Wide players must stay in the outside channel.

- Once team has scored in a goal, the goal in which they scored is know the goal they are defendind.

- Players in the wide channels have a goal either end of their channel to which they can either dribble into, or pass into. However, they can only pass into the goal once a 2vs1 has been made.

- Wide players can either score in the mini goals at the end of the channel or look to pick out a central player to score in the full size goals.

Progressoins.

- Allow wide players to come infield when out of possession.

- Remove the mini goals at the end of the wide channels.
